l the so'cket of the .cylinders an wheel 19 of the ders, l of.

' latter,

rods 34 as indicated at 28, so that when the bearing cap 25fis raised, the enlargement 27 may Amove into the enlarged portion 28 of said surface by imparting an endivise movement of the cylinder toward this side of the device, whereby the squared shaft 17 at the opposite end of the cylinder may be withdrawn from ShaftlS. In this manner, any desired one or more of the cylinders may be removed when it is desired to dispense with the same, without .interfering with the continued operation of the remaining one or more of said cylinders.

, Hendless sprocket chain 29 passes around the s rocket 'wheels19 of the end over and under the socket intermediate cylinder, while the shaft 18 of the intermediate cylinder is extended outwardly beyond the sprocket wheel 19 thereof, where it. is provided with a'further socket wheel'BO'asshown in Figuros 1- and 2. A slow speed motor of any desired: type such asthe electric motor 31 that is mounted on the base 11 may bel operatively connected with the sprocket wheel 30 thru asprocket gearing includin a cham 32 for rotatably driving` one of t e cyhn `referably the intermediate onethere- Xt the four corners of the construction described, or' at the front corners of the re t 5 and the rear corners of the fire pot adjacent the upper edges of the are secured sockets 33 that a-re arran ed in vertical positions -for reception, of 51e lower ends of supporting posts or upon .the upper ends of Which-1s mounted a canopy 35 having an outlet flue 36l through which the fumes and products of combustion collected in the hood 37 may conveyed to a desired point of disposal. he movement of the lower ends of the posts 34 the sockets 33 may be limited to ay proper degree by the provision of shoulders other purposes when not in base 11. In a like manner,

37 upon said ends of the posts 34.

rom the above description it will be seen that the lts 8 may be removed for permitting separation of the fire pot, while the laatter may be removed from the supporting the rods 34 may be disconnected from the fire -pot to permit removal of the hood 35. Thus, the device may -be' compactly stored for shipment or use.

VIn use, are is build `upon a desired one or more of the grates 10 of Athe several tire pots, after which the rods'fth'e'cylinders which are removably held as at l5 and 16 are d isen "ed Lfor permittingv insertion of the meat within the cylinder, after which said\ ,releasable rods are again placed in as'shown in Figure positioni p 3. The motor 31 is then started so 'as to rotate the several cylinders scribed, a stepped supporting base,

thru the gearin meat will be s owly turned `for insuring roasting of the meat in an even manner without burning or scorching. Due to the rotation of the meat and the stepped relation of the lire ot, the product will be effectively displayed) so as to attract attention. It will thus be evidenced that the device may serve effectively as an advertising medium'.V Y

From the foregoing, it is believed that -the construction and operation, as Well as the advantages of the present invention will be readily understoodv and appreciated by those skilled in the art. v

inor changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Wlat I claim asnew is: l. scribed, a plurality of open top fire pots rigidl stepped relation, meat sup.-

y supported in porting elements at the tops of said fire pots,

said meat supporting elements comprising rotatable foraminous cylinders, and means for rotating said cylinders.

2. In a barbecue stove of the character described, a plurality of open top lire pots rigidly supported in stepped relation, meatsupporting elements at the tops of said fire pots, said meat supporting elements comprising rotatable oraminous cylinders, and means to rotate said cylinders, and means to permit rendering any desired one or more of said `cylinders inoperative at will.

n a barbecue stove of the character de' described, whereupon the detachably connecting said iirepots to each other, meat supporting frames at the tops of said re pots, said meat supporting frames comprisingrota-table elements p-rovided with means for rotating t e same.

5. In a barbecue stove of the character dea plurality of open top fire pots arrangedA in stepped relation upon said base, means rigidly and detachiibly connecting said fire pots to each other, meat supportingframes at the tops of said re pots,` and a hood removably supported by said tire' pot above the latter and provided with an outlet flue. In -testimony whereof I afx my signature.
